Do you find yourself practicing in some unlikely places?

S

Salsero JR

Does anyone remember the scene from "The Full Monty" where the guys started practicing their dance moves while standing in line at the job club?

So, what unlikely places do you find yourself practicing at? The elevator?, the subway?, the board room?

For me it usually happens at the gym. I've always got my head phones on listening to salsa music while I workout. In between sets if the song is really good I can't help but practice some body isolation moves to the music (especially with all of the mirrors around). It's funny because my friends will come over and want to hear what I'm listening to. El Gran Combo and Har You Percussion Group are becoming very popular with my gym-rat friends.

I don't know what it is about me and bathrooms but I'm always testing out spins in anyone's bathroom. If I can spin well, then the bathroom is deemed "royal" and I make a mental to visit again. :lol: :lol:
 
I generally practice in the elevator - sometimes I will practice at the gym - and my kitchen while I'm cooking (food that is).
 
Parking lots, supermarket, restrooms, kitchen...the impulse can strike almost anywhere. I restrain myself at the office, though. Otherwise, my "secret life" will be exposed. :lol:

It happens often while chilling at restaurants where no music is playing at all. One of us will ask, "Have you tried this yet?" and demonstrate something. Sometimes we'll clap out a clave or hum the montuno from a song while demonstrating. It never fails to draw attention.
 
office cubical -- the basic is quite a favorite since people can't tell what I am doing with my feet,
elevator,
bathtub,
supermarket aisles, -while no one is looking
subway stop, ( not all out but practicing patterns I just learned so not to forget it

:):):):)

living room !!!!
 
I have found myself doing some spins outdoors in the snow in the middle of the night. :P :lol:

Nice!

I find myself practicing at the Gym, in elevators - the server room at work (I work in IT) bathrooms - nice smooth floor lots of mirrors and bus stops - a lot. Once had on my ipod and was crossing a road that you had to stop in a central reservation type thing, while I was waiting for the lights to change I was doing a little footwork pattern when the guy next to me asks 'salsa?' i say yes and he joins in. Now that was cool.

Ditto! :) :cheers:
 
sometimes i walk on the clave so that i walk fast for a bar (the 3 side) and slow for a bar (the 2 side), im sure ppl think im a little crazy. I dance a little while sitting on the bus during my commute, but thats mostly accidental bouncing, head nods and shoulder movement, ive had ppl move seats, i guess it must be pretty annoying, but me and my ipod disagree :D I practice travelling spins along my hallway everytime i pass through it, which is alot!!

Not unusual but funny, ive been practicing to my frankie martinez dvd infront of the tv, we're having the livingroom redecorated so we have no curtains and we live beside a laneway so ppl are walking through all the time. So I'm practicing these isolations and everyone who is walking by can see. 2 nights ago i was doing the hip part of the isolation and as i did the rotation where you turn around i saw that there was a group of about six 8year old boys standing outside my house giggling, I just laughed too.
 
well if u wanna ask me this question , then rephrase it
** where is it that u dont practise ur salsa?**

my answer is..NO where..i practise every where, and i mean every where!
 
I found myself practicing in the elevator this morning - jamming to some Pape Fall (African Salsa) on my ipod. But spinning was a bit tough :)
